Within the framework of preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, AxxonSoft’s tech support customised settings on more than 1350 video channels at three stadiums and at a central monitoring station to meet the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ needs through a centralised monitoring system.
AxxonSoft launched this technology system within just one month, using team members to roll out the solution. AxxonSoft’s Intellect software managed a total of 960 video surveillance channels at Samara Arena, Mordovia Arena, and RZD Arena – the latter was used as a training base for referees. 250 of those channels employed AxxonSoft’s situational video analytics to monitor the stadiums, 41 licence plate recognition channels to monitor vehicle traffic, and nine facial recognition channels to monitor for individuals prohibited from accessing the stadiums. Video monitoring was also integrated with access control, fire and security alarm systems.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs’ central monitoring station, powered by AxxonSoft’s Intellect PSIM platform, pooled over 390 video channels from all 11 World Cup host cities with video feeds displayed on an interactive map. Videos were streamed from stadiums and surrounding territories, fan zones, and other locations deemed critical from the point of security for participants and guests of the World Cup.
The World Cup stadium security project included requests to integrate access control software, as well as develop a screen manager to adaptably manage camera layout and the video wall. These functions were successfully implemented at the World Cup stadiums and will be incorporated in Intellect 4.11.0.
The Intellect PSIM platform was employed in various areas of 10 out of the 12 stadiums where 49 World Cup matches were played. Over 9000 Intellect-powered video surveillance cameras were used to monitor the security of over two million spectators who attended the games. AxxonSoft software was also widely used at training camps, fan zones, transportation infrastructure, and other sites where teams and fans arrived and moved around the country.
FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, called the 2018 World Cup the best in its history. In addition to commenting on match attendance and television viewership numbers, Infantino gave high praise to the quality of infrastructure and security.
